According to its self-reported version number, the Joomla! installation running on the remote web server is 1.0.0 or later but prior to 3.7.4. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • A security bypass vulnerability exists in the installer application due to a failure to properly check for ownership of a webspace. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to gain control of another user’s webspace. Note that this vulnerability affects versions 1.0.0 through 3.7.3. (CVE-2017-11364)

  • A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user’s browser session. Note that this vulnerability affects versions 1.5.0 through 3.7.3. (CVE-2017-11612)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
